THE LAUNDRY IN MEXICO.
4 Country where Wash Tubs are Not
Known-At the River Side.


IN the greater part or Mexico such
things as wash tubs and boards, patent
steam washers, OF even clothes lines and
pins are practically unknown, and it win
be long time before any Of these articles
viii be brought into general use by these
people. The washing is all done by women
along the margins Of rivers and creeks,
which In this country, as well as In our
own, so unaccountably find their way to
the cities and towns. There these women
esslavanderasi1 are to be found every day,
Sunday not excepted, from dozens up to
hundreds, according to the size Of the city.
They assume the sitting or squatting pos
ture so universal with the female laborers
Of this country, having in front of them
and partly resting IL the water large,
fiat, smooth stone. Saturating garment
in the creek and applying quantity Of
soap, it is then vigorously rubbed over the
stone, which serves as q washboard, and
Is a very good substitute indeed 1t is
often the case that fair sized stream near
q great city is SO largely used for such
work that it presents the appearance of a
river of soap suds. And yet this water is
used by the people of the next town below
for drinking and culinary purposes, and so
tar as the taste is concerned they will prob
ably find it none the worse for the good
service rendered at various places nearer
its source.
The garments, after being washed, are
spread upon the rocks and gTaycl-bcds,
and the bright sun, which shines here al
most daily for eight months i'll the year,
dries them before one has scarcely had
time to turn around. This custom of
river washing is necessitated by the
scarcity Of water. There is scarcely any
part Of the country III which either wells
or cisterns are to be found AL the drink
ing water is brought in pipes tapping the
river few miles above the city, and is
conducted to fountains or basins con-.
yeniently located in different sections of
the town. 8sssss#s8s 80 m W.
In many localities the rivers, which i !.
the dry season become reduced to me D
rivulets, are the only source of water SUP
ply, and are used for almost every crl-
ceivable purpose. Innumerable little
dikes, dams and bitches are constructed
by the scores Of women who do washing
for q living, and who each must have a
small supply of water for daily USE At
one place tanner may be seen scraping
and washing green hides, at another
butcher securing tripe. Just below a
housewife will be cleaning the boiled corn
for the family dinner, while at other
points grooms Will be- engaged in securing
horses and native washing his person. in
the stream, evidently bordering over the
probability of his efforts being rewarded
by the recovery of shirt he remembers
having put on in other days. Cor. Kan

ISRAEL.

From The C entury for May.
When by Jabbok the patriarch waited
TO learn ON the morrow his doom,
And his dubious spirit debated
In darkness and silence and gloom,
There descended Being with whom
lie wrested In agony sore,
With striving OF heart ana OF Drawn,
And not for an instant forDore
IiI the East gave threat OF the GAVIN
And then as the Awful One blessed MIN,
6 10 his lips and his spirit there came,
Compelled by the doubts that oppressed MN,
The cry that through questioning ages so soces
Has been wrung from The kinds ana inc saSes,
"Tell me, pray Thee, Thy Name!
Most fatal. most futile Of questions!
Wherever the heart Of man beats.
In the spirits most sacred retreats,
Ii comes with It's sOmbre suggestions.
Unanswered forever and aye
The blessing may come and may stay,
But the question, unheeded forever,
Dies out in the broadening day.
In the ages before our traditions,
By the affairs OF dark supersutions,
The imperious question has como;
When the death.stiicken victim lay sopoing
AT the feet OF his slayer and priest
And his heart WAS laid smoking ana thropDlhg
10 the sound Of the cymbal aud drum
On the steps OF the high teocallis,
When the delicate Greek at his feast
Poured forth the red wine from his chalce
With mocking aud cynical prayer
When by Nile. Egypt worshpping lay
And afar. through the rosy, flushed air
The Memnon called ont 10 the day;
Where the Mue2Lns cry UOAts from MS spirej
In the yauted Cathedraps dim shades,
Where the crushed hearts OF thousands aspire
Through arts highest miracles higher,
This question OF questions invades
Each heart bowed IN worship or shame;
In the air whcfc the censers are swinging
voice, going up with the singing, 90,
Cries. Tell me, pray Thee, Thy Name!"
No answer came back. not word,
To tho patriarch there by the ford;
No answer has come through the ages
TO tho poets the seers, and the sages
Who have sought in the secrets OF science
The name and the nature OF God.
Whether cursing In desperate defiance
Or kissing his absolute rod
But the answer which was and shall be,
y Ny name nay. what is it to thee ~
The search and the question are vain.
BY use OF the strength that Is In you,
by wrestling OF soul and OF sinew
Tie blessing of God you may gain.
There are tights in the far-geamlng heaven
That never will shine on our eyes,
To mortais twill never be given,
To rarge those invi0late skies.
Tho mind whether praying or scorning
That tempts those dread secrets shall fall
But strive through the night till the morning
Aud nightly shalt thou prevail
